Vivid Audio is a revolutionary high-end loudspeaker manufacturer founded in 2002 by Laurence Dickie and Philip Guttentag in Durban, South Africa. Founded with the ambition to produce the world's pre-eminent high-end loudspeaker systems, the company combines South African manufacturing precision with British acoustic engineering expertise. Laurence Dickie, former B&W engineer and inventor of the famous Nautilus speakers and Matrix enclosure system, serves as Technical Director. The company operates from both Durban, South Africa (manufacturing) and Partridge Green, UK (business operations).
